However I find the addition of my delivery address into the To line highly irritating (even more so if I use list specific delivery addresses). I'd far rather only see the list address, and any pre-existing additional addresses, in the header To/Cc lines.
This is much like Reply-To munging. I can see situations where it might be useful, but personally I'd rather receive the message as the poster sent-it (or as near as possible). For instance, I've often redistributed list archives as mbox files; personalised mail means that they can't be regarded as a definitive 'historical record'.
Ok, I bet I can turn this off as a user, but please don't make it the default for mailman.
As an aside, I'd prefer that any messages _I_ send to a list arn't rewritten so as to appear as if I sent them directly to every recipient. It gives a very different impression, not something I'd be happy with in general - Since I'm really _not_ sending mail for the personal immediate attention of all those people.
Seeing my own address in a message header raises a mental flag that this message was sent to me personally
Agreed, I have no problems filtering this list format (not least since filtering incoming mail on 'To' is bad practice anyway), but I do highlight messages with my own address in the headers - Something that is now (somewhat) messed-up.
